The 2021 Irancy has a soft and generous bouquet with red cherries and crushed strawberry fruit, a touch of iodine. The palate is medium-bodied with slight furry tannins, fine acidity, fresh and quite linear in style. Gentle towards the finish with a light pepper-tinged aftertaste. Tasted at the domaine. - By Neal Martin on June 2022

There are less than fifty active viticulteurs in the relatively small northern Burgundy Appellation of Irancy, only twelve of which are situated in the commune of Irancy. Located just southwest of Chablis, Irancy is a picturesque canvas of vineyards planted on hillsides and amphitheaters, all favorably facing south for maximal sun exposure. While it shares the Kimmeridgian limestone soil also found in Chablis, the combes of vineyards here are planted exclusively to red grapes–mainly Pinot Noir–with instances of Gamay and César. Historically, the land was co-planted to vines, wheat, and cherry trees, and not unlike the reds of Sancerre, its wines were a favorite of Parisians due to its close proximity to Paris.
